The book, “Ceremonial songs of the Creek and Yuchi Indians” is unique because it fits comfortably under classifications of history as well as music. For example, the provided Library of Congress Classification number shows it categorized with folk music from the American Indians and the Dewey Decimal Classification makes no reference to the musical aspect instead emphasizing the ties to the Creek Indians. This is problematic because if someone is not aware of the full topic or title and is seeking the book, they may disregard the music and be unable to locate the book in their search. Retrieval requires solid metadata, especially in these instances where one subject or classification is not enough to adequately describe the “aboutness” of the work. This is one argument in favor of increasing the reach of the semantic web and Linked Data to alleviate some of these problems. As seen in Part 1, achieving coextensivity is not easy when there can only be one DDC or LCC call number, but multiple LCSH headings assigned.
Part 3 The assignments for this course were certainly eye-opening for someone who intends to do cataloging and classifying work in the future. I naively assumed going in that there would be some ultimate form of classifying, but it seems the true winning combo is a combination of multiple, whether that be LCC, LCSH, DCC, folksonomy, or other ontologies. This work is integral to

Metadata will include access management, preservation, administrative, descriptive, technical and structural data. Much of the metadata will have to be created. The original volumes had no table of contents, index, or other description of the records. Additionally, volumes were arranged chronologically with no attention paid to document type, source, or content. In addition to author, title, publisher, and date, descriptive metadata will be expanded include keywords regarding subjects, individuals, locations, or events referenced in the document, as well as any related documents. This will be a time consuming and costly effort, but it required to maximize the value of the online data to researchers, students, teachers, etc. An index for all volumes was completed after the fact in 1909 and that index will be incorporated into a referential database behind the web page front end, rather than in the metadata itself. A complete list of metadata elements are provided in Appendix

Imagine a place where a fireman's job is to start fires, not put them out, a place where technology and sports are held on a higher pedestal than knowledge and individuality. This is a description of the society in the book Fahrenheit 451. Throughout the novel the audience recognizes a common theme of ignorance in the characters, rather than knowledge. The theme of ignorance over knowledge is supported with the use of symbolism and paradoxes.

“ ‘I won’t run into anything I can’t deal with on my own.’ ” (Krakauer 6)
The core pages in the Big Book structure their information in a step by step fashion. It begins with Bill’s Story. The story of how Bill started his own journey through alcoholism and became a founding member of A.A. The following chapters target the alcoholic in different areas of their life. Chapter two and three talk about how, through science, spirituality, and personal experience, the founding authors discovered the solution to their alcoholic illness and the ways they could beat it. Chapter four targets the alcoholic who may shy away from the religious or spiritual talk about “God” and how the program handles the idea of God or a “higher power” as those in the group see it. Chapter five and six are the nuts
Based on Michael’s suggestion, his point of view would most likely be Contrast. The book that he suggested is of the mindset that science and religion do not have to be in conflict with one another because they are asking different questions. This fits the viewpoint of Contrast. My response to Michael would be that the book, Rock of Ages, is of only one viewpoint, therefore it would not be a good choice for this course. The goal of Theology and Science as a course is to help students have a better understanding of the world around them. Reading a book with only one viewpoint may give students a biased opinion of science and religion. Also, the viewpoint of Contrast is an easier thought process because just saying that the two ask different

Literary forms and style consist of different kinds of writing determined by their literary style, context, voice, and purpose (how the author wants to reader to be affected)--ex: psalms, historical books, letters, gospels, and the stories Jesus told to the people. These form of writing consist of different types of books, which involves apocalyptic (uses dramatic symbols to give hope to those in a crisis), advice, genealogies, and prayers. The gospel stems from a Greek word meaning "good news" that describes the scriptures delivered by the ministry the early Christians concerning the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 15:1-8). Also, the genres are
In The Need for Classification the author Vickery (1975) introduces us to faceted classification and gives his argument for the need for this classification. The author of the article Brian C. Vickery was a librarian, academic and member of the Classification Research Group which was responsible for a substantial amount of the work we have on faceted classification (Broughtan, 2015, p.301-302). Vickery shows that the importance of classificcaiton cannot be denied as “Classification enables us to select, from a whole universe of known entities, the one that best matches one newly encountered” (Vickery, 1975, p.3).The chapter focuses on explaining classification and its feature, illustrating the need for it in information retrieval and addresses some complications with the different methods.
